15 min. F.S. This lady has just finished engagements in New York and Boston. No description of what she does is necessary. She is unquestionably very artistic in her method and seemed to please quite a number of our audience at the matinee. Unfortunately, however, the majority of vaudeville patrons are not of a class that appreciates her work, never having been, as the Madame says, “Educated up to the true interpretation of a song.” At night, however, with the automobile trade in and the society people who have traveled, she will find her efforts meeting with more appreciation.
21 min. F.S., close in one. This man is certainly O.K. with his magical work, making several variations from his act as presented before, and finishing with a levitation act in one. Fox keeps up a running-fire of talk which is amusing and gets laughter and some applause. In fact, the act holds a good spot throughout, and finishes in one very well indeed.
18 min. F.S., close in one. These boys juggling the banjos are immense. The music is secondary to their juggling, but the act is a decided novelty, and they got a big hand. The stage setting is effective. In their closing, they show what they can do in music besides juggling. The close was very good.
18 min. in one. Mr. Wenrich’s songs are of the popular order. Miss Connolly has a very charming personality and sings well. Her dancing is not so good. However, each one of her selections got good applause. The act is of the parlor order, and as such can hold a spot like this with credit. Miss Connolly has three changes of costumes, all of them very attractive. The finish with the rag-time duet received good applause.
“Nick Carter”. 28 min. F.S. opens in one with his “Boy Detective” song. The plot regarding the plans of the Golden Gate fort being delivered into the hands of Japan starts in burlesque style in one and continues to full stage. There are a great many amusing situations which get constant laughter. The finish is in one when the messenger boy wakes up and finds his heroism is all a dream. Close was fair.
13 min. in one. Well known on the circuit. Good line of material, some of it new. His burlesque opera characters won laughter. All right for this spot. Closed well.
15 min. F.S. Open with selections on musical instruments. Proceed to a soprano solo. The “Kangaroo” dance was one of the features of the act and was received. The finish consisted of dancing on ice-skates on a high pedestal. Makes a good opener, and pleased the audience. Closed well.
On at 4:19, 9 minutes full stage. This is one of the best closing acts we have had in a long time is full of life and got lots of laughs and gave the show a good lively windup.
On at 3:32, 29 minutes full stage with close in 1. Van certainly made a hit here this afternoon. The act is full of life and ginger and although his stuff did not arrive until late, it was not here until a few minutes before he went on, he gave a good performance and satisfied everybody.
On at 3:35, 19 minutes full stage with close in 1. Fields had some trouble with his croquet lawn this morning and was unable to use it this afternoon but went on with his billiard table act and went as good as ever, the comedy end getting plenty of laughs all through.
